This fortified wine is produced in the North East corner of Spain on the French border. A co-operative at Celler Espolla utilises the best local production of three strains of Garnacha, Greneche Negra, Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanca, some vines being 50 years old. Harvested by hand when the full ripeness has been achieved then fortified with grape spirit before entering the Solera system which is the same ageing process used in the production of Sherry.
An intense amber colour with complex aromas of preserved fruits such as figs, dates, raisins and a hint of brioche. The palate is sweet with flavours of dried fruits with a well balanced but lively acidity and a long and memorable finish.
Delicious with a desssert of Poached Pears and Caramel Sauce or a selection of savoury cheeses.
